Here is a question: should an application be able to "take you out of
X"? Shouldn't X ideally be able to survive bad applications just like
Linux ... ?
BTW, on my Radeon, I have experienced X "going down" a couple of times,
usually related to playing a movie clip or something like that, smpeg
mostly. I do not, at this moment, recall anything else taking down X
recently. Though I think there was some other things in the past. (Even
then, it was never in "normal X use", it would either be 3D, or other
mode switching / fancy features...)
